Template:Character Dhiren Baral is a human officer of the Consulate in Ghirapur on Kaladesh.
Description
A monolith of a man, stout and statuesque, with a face that seems to taunt those around it for being of lesser handsomeness. Tasked with persecuting crimals who are smuggling aether.
History
Secretly a mage with anti-fire magic of his own, he was tasked to persecute Chandra Nalaar for using fire magic. Even when the consuls deemed the search for the renegades too costly, he continued to hunt for them. He stabbed Kiran Nalaar in the stomach and torched Bunarat, the village where Chandra and her parents had been hiding. In his official story, Chandra was blamed for the fire and the death of her parents.[1] When Baral tried to execute Chandra at Ghirapur, the threat ignited her planeswalker's spark and she planeswalked to Regatha. [2] The ignition of her spark burned Baral's face, leaving him deformed and scarred and with an even more obsessive hatred of the Nalaars. After the event the Consulate demoted him from captain to lieutenant.
Baral started to torment the captured Pia Nalaar, telling her repeatedly over the course of many months that he had killed her daughter.[3] When Nissa, Chandra and Oviya Pashiri found the hidden prison where Baral worked, he managed to trap the three in a Deadlock Trap, intending to leave them to suffocate.[4]
Baral later helped Tezzeret steal the best inventions and abduct the best inventors from the Inventor's Fair.[5]
After the Renegades had managed to conquer the central Aether Hub of the city, Dovin Baan stated that the weakest link of the group was Chandra Nalaar, due to her impulsiveness. Tezzeret then ordered Baral to distract Chandra, exploiting the hatred that existed between both. Baan was weary of this plan, since he mistrusted Baral's soundness of mind. Tezzeret ordered Baan to supervise the operation. Insisting that their confrontation would take place in one of the more dilapidated quarters of Ghirapur, he watched the battle between the Consulate officer and the planeswalkers. When Baral wanted more firepower against them, Baan refused, wanting to keep the citizenry safe from collateral damage. He also heard Baral's goad that Kiran and Pia Nalaar had not died in the fire, as previously stated, but that Kiran had been murdered by the Consulate officer and Pia taken into the Dhund without a trial. Charging Baral with murder, attempted murder and multiple counts of falsification of the public record, Baan ordered his imprisonemnt.[6]
